Champion Trees

The goal of the Prince George’s County Big Tree Program is to identify, measure, and catalog the largest trees of each species in the county. Winners are compared to trees from the Maryland Big Tree Program to find the largest in the state. Trees are scored by: Total Points = circumference (in inches) + height (in feet) + 25% of the average crown spread. Our campus Arboretum currently boasts 19 County Champion Trees, including those pictured below.
